This is exactly what should happen. I've noticed that every time a new book gets added to cc.db, indexing and who knows what else kicks off. I've noticed that if I import the collections.json from calibre into cc.db before the cpu settles down, some of the books don't show up as in collections. I just re-run the import and all is dandy.

Also, if you're not storing your calibre content in documents/calibre, the script will skip those collections.

Just to prove what a masochist I am, I deleted my cc.db file. A zero length file was immediately created and it took a *long* time before all the content was re-added and re-indexed. When the indexing was done, I ran the export/calibre/import and got all my collections back.

Since stdout and stderr go to /dev/null it's hard to determine what's going wrong. The best bet is to ssh into the Kindle and run json2db.sh -v to see the output.
